...film trails off into a highly personal vision which we can only appreciate from a distance, as though we were witnessing some enormous in-joke. At one point Gus, trying to impress an English girl, starts speaking French and Italian.

Robinson, now 33, has made few bad plays since. Last week, throwing, fielding and hitting like a man possessed, baseball's premier third baseman led the Baltimore Orioles to a four-games-to-one World Series victory over the Cincinnati Reds with one of the most spectacular...
